I wondered where Desmond went. I did think he had settled a bit actually, but then I suppose I don't see all the stuff that goes on. It's a tough one, banning people - in some senses, WUMs can rally other forum members and contribute to the place as a kind of hate figure, but then again, I think that gets old after a while. I have no strong feelings on it though, and the mod team here is the most tolerant I've seen anywhere.

...Yeah, I think Pardew has run his course here. Don't care who we replace him with. As has been said ad infinitum, nothing changes until Ashley goes - but we may as well put paid to Pardew right now, he's a spent force. Although I think he's done well enough with us to land himself another PL job...

We're going to contrive to finish 12th aren't we? And in doing so, demonstrate that we have made no progress whatsoever from last season. Following Newcastle is a total waste of time, apart from the fact that other fans are good company

I hope they are, and that no one cares. Possibly a bit much to ask for, but I'm certain that no one would care that much...

That video... I'm embarrassed for them, I really am.

Yes, now you mention it. In a really stylish way though, not at all in a 'when my girl is away I revert to being a slob' kind of way... She goes away two or three times a year for the weekend, and I always make sure I do something like this. At the end of the weekend though, I always have this fear that if she wasn't there I'd spend my whole life doing this stuff!

I actually reckon it'd be a stupid buy even if serious. We'll only get a couple of years out of him before he starts declining, and it'll take probably a full season for him to get up to speed anyway. Does anyone know if he's much cop or a like for like replacement for Cabaye?

Good mood! My missus has gone to visit her mam for the weekend, so I'm sitting infront of the TV watching the Hobbit (yes I'm a nerd - this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone), with two bottles of Morretti and a curry. It's beautiful

... I have no idea how to respond to that. Well played.

I like them a bit more with Mourinho in charge to be honest. I enjoy the media circus around him

I can see why that would distort your opinion of the club Especially since that Palace game is the only one I can remember us actually winning since Christmas No need to get worked up though, we should all be used to this by now. We suck, Pardew sucks, Ashley is satan - none of this is new.

... I'm not certain I'd survive that experience, based on the above.

Er sorry, I think that was the abbreviation for Lake Bells Tits who was a poster on here. I'm not massively clued up on it, except that apparently he sucked and no one liked him

Thank you!

I didn't see that, no. I dunno, I guess you could be right, but I swear she used to post more constructively than this. It was back when I was a lurker though, so I could be wrong. I thought the only possible contention with Aeris was that she could have been LBT.

It's a tempting thought, but I don't think we're controlling games enough to even lose in any strategic or pre-planned manner.

Just read back over this, some of the posts have been really dismal... bit stunned actually, first time I've really seen that here. Also don't think Aeris is a mackem Des (why would a mackem get this worked up over us?), she's just incredibly angry at more or less everything, as far as I can tell. Needs some camomile tea or something. Possibly intravenously.

What the fuck happened in the league today, how are Liverpool all of a sudden about to win the fucking thing?? God, can you imagine... we'd never hear the end of it..

So... Glad that I had other things to do today. I'm guessing that there was no redeeming element to this whatsoever, so I'll just proceed with my plan of assuming that Newcastle are done for the season. Just as a note - has anyone ever seen Aeris post on here when we've won?

Your life just wouldn't have been worth living without correcting that, I assume.

That doesn't surprise me. What did you say? Just curious as to how petty their response was.

God knows what would have happened to me on RAWK...

...you're not going to forget that are you?

Rob Elliot is one of the most terrifying goalkeepers we've had in years.

I agree with this. I couldn't post on NO, it's awful. I do wonder though, how many fanbases have a TT equivalent? Also, as an aside, no forum anywhere, for any team, is as full of as many self-important fuckwits as RAWK is. It's staggering. Their moderator team see themselves as presiding divinely over a rabble of plebs* ffs. They open and lock threads with statements like 'Here you go fuckers, you can all ramble on in here for a couple of hours, but as soon as someone mentions xxx, or quotes a news source that I don't agree with, I'm going to lock it and ban them. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED". That forum is one of the main reasons I despise Liverpool, and I've never even posted there. EDIT - * I appreciate that we would all argue this may be the case
